Low Carb Sloppy Joes
How to Make It
Step 1
Melt the butter in a medium-large skillet on high heat. Then, add in the ground chuck. Brown the beef and break it up with a spatula.
Step 2
Next, season the beef with the salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and onion powder. Pour in the beef broth. Turn the heat to a simmer.
Step 3
Let the beef simmer for about 5 minutes. Then, turn the heat as low as possible and stir in the sour cream. Use a fork or whisk to make sure all the fat breaks down into the sauce.
Step 4
Return the heat to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce reduce immensely so it is thick and creamy. This can take up to 5 minutes or more, depending on how much liquid your cooked beef made.
Step 5
Assemble your sloppy joes by slicing 6 Carb Manager Bagels in half. Scoop about a ¼ c. of sloppy joe filling onto each bagel. Enjoy!
